Kings Waive Nobody Today

Per Rich Hammond (yesterday), the Kings had yet to decide if they were going to put any of their prospects on waivers in order to assign them to Manchester before the Lock-Out deadline. The NHL and NHLPA had made a special agreement that teams could put players on waivers this week (normally, the waiver period would have started 12 days before opening night, which obviously would not have occurred until the lock-out was already underway).

Per Rich:

In terms of players who were with the Kings last season, three players — Andrei Loktionov, Jordan Nolan and Slava Voynov — can be assigned and recalled at will, without any exposure to waivers. Eight other players — Andrew Bodnarchuk, Andrew Campbell, Marc-Andre Cliche, Rich Clune, Thomas Hickey, Stefan Legein, David Meckler and Jake Muzzin — must pass through waivers in order to be loaned to Manchester.

Rich says that the Kings have until Friday to decide whether to put players on waivers or not, in which case they still have time. Meanwhile, ESPN has issued a “complete” list of players waived today.

There are no Kings on the list. Will there be a new list tomorrow? Apparently, yes there will.
